Ask Me Help Desk - Can of worms!

Christmas came way to fast this year Alty.

It is hard to prepare for this year, but going back to the true Christmas without the commercialism, hmmm. There is a weeny teeny rant from me. I hate commercialism of Christmas. Can not believe how many people literally BUY into it. Line ups 30 people long lining up to be slaughtered like pigs.

Starby, not allergic to ducks.

I was visiting family that has a horse farm.. I wanted to ride the horse. After getting on the horse not too much longer my eyes and airways swelled up and gasping for air and was rushed to the hospital.

So Yep allergic severely when I was younger. Cats were even worse, sorry cat lovers.

Okay, That's it for today, can you guys rate my rant from 1 being the worse to 10 being the best??

Awww Joe! That has got to suck! That's got to be right up there in the rant ratings! I'll give it a high 8! I guess that means little cheeks can rule out Daddy teaching him to ride a horse then hey? There's always Merry-go-Rounds! ;) What about puppies? Are you allergic to puppies too? That would be sad! :( Look on the bright side! You're not allergic to Ducks! QUACK! :D

Uhhmm, no I didn't! What is the reason for that? :confused:

It's the witching hour!!

Where, oh where, are all those little kiddies?I have some CANDY for you!

I am making a new table.

All the scraps left from the past few years.I assembled strips together made of mahogany,oak,and walnut.

The legs( I like these... :p) are ash from town( a tree fell and the local 'portable saw mill' came and made lots of nice dimensional wood from it,a few years back)

I'll be done with it soon and will post pics(If anyone is interested)

KBC

Anyone still here?

I'm here Spydie, at least in spirit, actually, no, the spirit is also weak.

I'm not feeling good, in fact, I feel lousy, crappy, yucky, not happy, downright miserable. The bad news, I still have way too much to do and I'm running out of time.

Someone shoot me, please, just do it, it's the humane thing to do, really, do it, do it, do it!! Arrrrrrrrr, I can't wait until Jan 2. ;)

I've been sick for two weeks and whooping cough is going around. Yay me! I can't wait for 'black' December to be over either. I started my new job and I've been pushing myself waaay too hard. They hired me as a temp and then they told me to take the civil service test so they can hire me on as a permanent employee. They bad thing is they mailed my check to me on Wednesday and I won't get it until Monday because I work out of state. Blah. I feel you alty...

We should start an anti Christmas campaign. Who wants to ban Christmas, sign here! ;)

It's not that I don't like Christmas, but really, it's too commercial, just once I'd like to actually sit, relax and enjoy Christmas, but it's never going to happen. I'm the one who cleans, cooks, bakes, wraps, decorates, entertains etc. etc. etc.

Hubby decided that we were going to have his family over for boxing day. He said to me "I think we should do boxing day dinner" We? Who's this we he's talking about? We don't do anything, it's me. What does he do? He sleeps until 2pm, gets up, showers and then greets the guests. In the meantime I've been up since 6am cooking, cleaning and taking care of the kids and pets. Then the guests come and he offers drinks, is the perfect host and makes it sound like he did all the work. Okay, yes, I'm angry, sorry, have to vent. :(

Don't be sorry, can of worms right? I have to travel for longer than I get to stay at my familys' houses.

Those years are behind me Spydie. We used to make 3 stops on Christmas eve. My Grandmas, my parents and then hubby's mom. My grandma just died a few weeks ago, my parents died in 2001 and hubby's mom died March 2007. I'd do anything to have that craziness back.

Well you could drive to Ohio to visit me and you'll get plenty of craziness. I love the time I spend with my family, otherwise I wouldn't travel so much. I don't like to think of my parents or grandparents getting older. I can't imagine losing any of them. I still have great-grandparents for heaven's sake! Jack is the 5th generation.

Wow, Great Grandparents?

I have no Grandparents left and both my parents and both hubby's parents are deceased. Gosh, I feel old. ;)

I lost both my parents when I was 30. Now you just have to do the math to figure out how old I am. ;)

I'm a youngin:) Aww your'e not that old Alty. I'm 22. My mommy is 43. And after that I have no clue how old my grandparents and great-grandparents are. Zach's great grandmother is 94 and still chipper

You're mom is only 5 years older than me Spydie! :eek:

I've got to go get my cane now, and maybe take my teeth out. Sigh, I feel ancient all of a sudden. I can't even remember being 22. ;)

Well now, my mom gets fiesty now that I'm grown. She used to seem so proper. Then she tells a dirty joke and it just floors me. And I never heard her say a 'dirty' word until last year when she called some guy an a-hole when she was driving. It just seems that the older I get the younger my mother seems

Isn't that cool, to be able to relate to the parents on 'their' level?

I know! I understand them so much more, and I feel like I can be friends with my mom now. I wish I could have opened up to her, like I can now, when I was a teenager though.

Yes I'm 38, but I'm not the average 38 year old. I swear (not in front of my kids) I love a dirty joke, love sex talk, heck, love sex! I have a tattoo, I wear whatever I like, I'm pretty easy going, relaxed, laid back, and right now, a bit tipsy. ;)

Wow, I need to lie down. ;)

Sounds like you don't need to lie down alone... ;)
I actually need to get to bed. Jack has a cold and I don't like all that snot building up in his chest... I like to be able to hear him.
You feelin' better Ken? If you still need to talk I can stay up a little longer.

I am going to make it,thanks for being there and I have the other info,I am not a face book person(yet) it seems to be a new trick and I am an old dog... modern stuff intimidates me and it might end up being a new addiction if I get to like it too much... HA(excuses and Arse openings,every one has 'em)

I started my Facebook page this past October, so I'm kind of new too. Ha, well goodnight. And I'm glad you are feeling a little better! Good luck with that.
Night night

Facebook is fuuuun Ken! It's simple... nothin to it! I just got in a fight earlier today... LOL! I should never get involved in a discussion about dogs! ;)

Did Spidey and Alty go to bed?

Yeah they pooped out and abandoned me again:(

A fight? A fight? Tell all, do tell all!!

*NOTE... about time someone else complained instead of me:rolleyes:

Well what the heck? I just answered you... and the whole thing disappeared... it was here two seconds ago... geeezzzz!

What I WAS going to say, is I'm one of two admins. Of a site on Facebook. The group is Stop Animal Over Population, where we are raising money for people in our area to get their pets spayed and neutered. I made a comment in another group, where some girl asked for the picture and video we have on our site to be taken down. I responded and said that it won't be, and then went on to make other general comments. Well she had a fit, and it turned into one big circus! Fun, Fun, Fun!

A pic taken down? What was it? A scientific dissection of a dog?

Haha! No I've got the same video posted on here too! I'll give you the link!

You know, I couldn't watch the whole thing.

I am not sure my heart could take the strain,after reading the other posts,before I watched,I think I was smart by doing that.

MAYBE this girl who wanted it removed had a point... but if it offends her, well,, she don't need to watch it now does she?

Well the point of the video is, if you can't watch it, then you shouldn't be breeding. It's reality, and sometimes people need reality to slap them in the face in order to get them to understand how many unwanted animals are put down every single moment of everyday, just because they think their dog is so absolutely adorable, the they decide to be a backyard breeder, and have absolutely no experience, and haven't done any research whatsoever! I talked to a girl today, and she was soooo happy, because TWO of her dogs had just had litters. She didn't have a clue what she was doing, but was thrilled that she made a deal with a pet store in Calgary to sell them at top price. WOOHOO! How sad.

There were 14 puppies in all, and one was born without eyeballs, and another with a cone shaped head! But she justified herself, by saying that it was "Gods" will, and they weren't meant to live! Sick!. just sick!

What the heck is up with AMHD tonight? It just took me 10 minutes for that post to come up. I got redirected, and it said something about... if I want to post a poll, I can do so now! Whaaatt? A poll? What the heck kind of poll? Weird!
